\"\"<\/p>\n

I am a climate scientist at the Grantham Institute<\/a>, where I am an Imperial College Research Fellow<\/a> and Grantham Lecturer in Climate Science.<\/p>\n

I obtained my BSc and MSc degrees from ETH Zurich, before gaining a PhD in Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Washington in Seattle. I then worked at the University of Reading as a postdoc for three years, before joining Imperial in August 2018.<\/p>\n

My work mainly deals with the physical aspects of climate change. One question I\u2019m interested in is, how much will the Earth warm as CO2<\/sub> levels increase? The answer depends on the strength of climate feedbacks, for example due to changes in clouds, but these feedbacks remain poorly understood. I work with climate models and observations to make progress on this issue. For one of my recent publications<\/a> on this topic, I received a \u201cResearch Output Prize\u201d at the University of Reading in 2018.<\/p>\n

Another aspect of my research is concerned with the atmospheric circulation and how it will change as the climate warms. In particular, I am working to understand future changes in the position of the jet streams, which are strong wind currents about 10 km above the surface. These currents have a strong impact on our weather, so understanding their future changes is a question of high economic and societal relevance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
